If you do it over component,the BD player will not upscale regular DVDs. I gather your TV has no HDMI or DVI inputs?

i was told by chris at pioneer it will if you force the out put to 1080i at any rate the results over my denon 5900 where a more cenimatic pressntation and smoother picture with more detail to behold. i'll only use the denon now for cd and sacd play back only.this player rocks. two thumbs up for pioneer.
I have never heard of a Blu-ray player that will upscale DVD over component. It's not allowed. Also, there ARE a very few DVD players that will, but they are not exactly reputable brands, certainly not Pioneer.Your salesperson is mistaken...I know this is so rare you won't believe it, but you'll see when you try it.
Edit: actually, I think ONE Oppo DVD player could do that, and that is a reputable brand.

I don't really know why, except the fear of pirating (?). There are some Chinese players that upscale over component-I have a Neuneo that does, but they are rare. The Oppo does not upscale over component.

Page 25 of your owner's manual, which covers connection via component video cables, says, "DVD-Video or DVD VR format is output at 480/60p"
Forcing output to 1080i won't change that.

For that matter, almost all upsampling optical disc players - DVD or Blu-Ray - are limited to 480p maximum output resolution for DVD output through the component outs. And Blu-Ray output through the component outs is limited to 1080i or 720p. 1080p is not possible for BD playback through the component outs.
In other words, in most players, HDMI is required for full-resolution BD playback or for any upsampling of DVD playback.

with some BD players, such as the PS3. The problem is there are very few displays that will accept it: I know the Pio 141 does, but since it has HDMI anyway...
.
The question i asked him was very specific about upconverting over component and the ansewer was yes and his friends got good results just by forcing 1080i on the output, however the results are in the picture if by some reason its not upconverting ill put it against it any day.Mabe it's because its not 1080p i know there not supposed to, but you would have to see for yourself.
